RHD. One-year. Good move, Ron!
Good Luck, Christian. Welcome to Philly.

 

[Striiker]

There's your #7, I guess.

 

[CS]

There's a move. I was wrong.

 

[SanBlom]

There it is guys....

 

[GKJ]

Glad I was wrong about them looking at Bieksa

RIP Phil Myers

RIP Phil Myers

Maybe its just a backup for injuries? A 7 that fills in...well, this is Hax....who knows?

 

[Hakroach]

Mein Gott, a Swede! Hak just got a new #3.

Truthfully, if he is used as a #6-#7, I'm fine with this signing.

Oduya played over Sanheim last year

Oduya played over Sanheim last year

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[NicolasAubeKubel]

So there is is (HAkTaRd lineup)

Provorov-Amac
Ghost-Folin
Hagg-Gudas

Pressbox:Sanheim, Myers

[MarAlain MongYeo]

A Philadelphia team signs a projected back up player whose last name starts with the letters F-O-L....

So Im pretty sure he's going to score 4 goals in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals and win the Conn Smythe.

Good signing.

Sanheim wasn't on the roster when Oduya played his one game as a Flyer.

And?

 

[Striiker]

Unless Hakstol ruins it, I think this is OK.

Obviously Provorov and Ghost are 100% locks. That means there's 4 spots for some combo of these guys... MacDonald, Gudas, Hagg, Sanheim, and Myers. Then likely Folin as #7.

If Hextall had gone out and got a guy who you'd expect to stick in the top 6 (not Folin) then they could have squeezed out a young guy who we want in there. This seems like he's going to at least give them a real shot to have both Sanheim and Myers on the team, with the other 3 blue names fighting for the last two spots. Ideally, at least one of MacDonald or Hagg are gone, but that might be too much to hope for.

 

[Curufinwe]

Folin is taking the spot vacated by Morin due to injury.

And?

And the coach can only play players that the GM has placed on the active roster.

 

[SnS]

@GKJ how should I feel about this?

You have 8 defensemen there though. Not 7.

I should have said Folin as #8, unless someone gets moved.

Could end up with two healthy scratches if Myers makes the team.

 

[hatcher]

There's your #7, I guess.

He'll play

 

[Striiker]

He'll play

He's worse than Provorov, Ghost, Sanheim, Myers, and Gudas. And Hakstol is in love with Mac and Hagg.

Sounds like Myers to the A and Sanheim to the box.

I doubt it. I'd be surprised if Sanheim isn't playing, even despite Hakstols stupidity.
